Remanufacturing Network Design for Dual-Channel Closed-Loop Supply Chain

Closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) is a prominent concept emphasizing on both economic and environmental aspects. A traditional view on these CLSCs for remanufacturing consists of two stages: forward logistics and reverse logistics. There is very little literature considering the impact of dual-channel business on closed loop supply chain network design for remanufacturing. In this research, we consider a CLSC where the remanufacturer needs to satisfy the demands from both online and office channels, A mixed integer nonlinear program is developed to determine the optimal network, and prices of both online and office return, with the objective of maximizing the manufacturer's profit.
